Sopheap

Sopheap, a 34-year-old fruit seller, and her husband, a sugar cane seller, earn a combined daily income of $18. They have two children, one a 14-year-old worker, and the other a 6-year-old student. Sopheap's monthly expenses consist of $83 for food, $15 for electricity, $50 for rent, $15 for school fees, $45 for transportation and $50 for other expenses.

She is now requesting a loan of $1200 to buy more fruit to sell, her ultimate goal being to save enough money to buy a small store and to send her child to university to study law.
